In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and the salt. Add the beaten egg yolks to the 2 cups of milk mixing thoroughly. Pour into dry ingredients mixing thoroughly. Turn on medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and starts to bubble. Be careful not to scorch. Turn off heat. Add butter and vanilla and 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut and mix thoroughly. Pour the cooled filling into the pie shell . Have your oven preheated to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut on top of the meringue Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until the meringue is golden brown.

In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center of this flour mixture, add the egg, orange juice and butter. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in cranberries and walnuts.
